Rejected petition Another referendum for EU membership which includes 16-18 year olds.
Rejected on
Young people 16-17 did not have the opportunity to vote in the biggest election in our history and it will arguably affect us the most. We had no voice and we should have a second referendum to include 16-17 year olds.
